About

The Morales Memorial Foundation was founded in 1993 by Angela V. Morales of the Felix H. Morales Funeral Home to serve Latino youth in Houston’s Greater East End and continues to serve Latino and non-Latino youth in the area. The Foundation’s mission is to empower area youth to gain education and pursue leadership positions whether it is in school or in a professional environment to create a trend for other Latinos to do the same.
